Charlotte - ECU Pregame Articles

Funny how the:

Washington (NC) Daily News can publish a pregame article:

http://www.wdnweb.com/articles/2010/12/01/sports/doc4cf5d42f1bd11597632556.txt

AND the Jacksonville (NC) Daily News has a pregame article:

http://www.jdnews.com/sports/hope-85327-pirates-shooting.html

But the CO can’t.

However, the Charlotte Observer does have a pregame article wrote by the Sports Network, BUT

You can’t find it on their site. I had to pretty much click through 40 links on Google News to find it.

Instead it’s littered with Tar Hole and ACC crap.

I guess Mike P considers this sufficient coverage. http://gmine.blogspot.com/2010/12/east-carolina-pre-game-observations.html

I have hard time hating on them at a time like this. Kind of don’t want any of this season to get press. This is the kind of season that would make the casual onlooker never come back.

A good friend used to drive down from Ohio to go to the Cincinnati game every year. The first time he visited he told me wanted to read the pregame article in the paper. I laughed and asked him which game he wanted to read about because our game would not be mentioned even though it was on National TV. He thought I was joking until he saw the paper. He has stated more than once he has never seen any team get as poor coverage as us. He also thinks it’s one of our major problems of not getting local support. Since he is in the media business he may know what he is talking about.

Who’s actually responsible for media relations in the athletic dept. Is is Judy, or what’s the man’s name? Is it Whitehead or something like that?

ECU sucks worse than us, yet they get plenty of coverage.
